The Participants mostly Young Media practitioners and Teachers of ICT and were coached by experienced IT personnels like Nana Kuntuo-asare who is also the ICT Coordinator/Research Officer & Media Relations Officer at Ghana Education Service, Assin North Directorate and Mr. Nicholas Essuman also an ICT Tutor at Aggrey Memorial Zion SHS - Cape Coast.

To the organizers, the program was their ‘widow’s mite’ to help the youth put quality and professional post (Information) on social media especially the young journalists.

In an interview with Nana the team leader, he said “it is time the Youth are guided to us social media profitably instead of always being tagged with fraudulent activities”.
